Description Roman K 2020-05-23 03:39:56 PDT 
After recent update to iOS 13.4.1
on my iPhone XR
text selection is not working on PWA with "apple-mobile-web-app-capable" meta set to "yes".

All seems to be working on iPhone XS Max.

Minimal reproducible html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>test text selection</title>
  <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
</head>

<body>
  Try to select this text.<br/>
  Should be selectable but it is not on my iPhone XR.
</body>
</html>
```

Also available here http://chestozo-ru.1gb.ru/ios-text-case/test.html

Steps to reproduce:
- on iPhone XR (maybe on others too)
- open http://chestozo-ru.1gb.ru/ios-text-case/test.html in Safari
- click on Bookmark / Add to Home Screen
- proceed with adding bookmark on the home screen
- open added bookmark
- try to select text by long tapping on it

Expected behaviour:
text selection dialog is activated

Actual behaviour:
nothing happens :/

Homescreen web apps set -[WKWebView allowsLinkPreview] to NO, which triggered the bug in <https://webkit.org/b/210191>.

This doesn’t reproduce for me on builds that have the fix for r259892, so I think this has been fixed in trunk WebKit.
